The Alaska and Sarah Divorce

[top gun]

Are you on the same planet as the rest of us?

always is from the planet of smear. It's a backward place where if you just take everything their people say and turn it around a complete 180 you know what to do.

 

[bododie]

The worst part to me is that so many are not involved... don't research anything a politics. They either don't vote or vote on some whim or on some singular thing they heard on the radio or on TV.

Yeah, we all saw them come out of the shadows to vote for the first time in their lives, instead of just complaining about the outcome as "usual". Are these the ""never cared about America before" people you are talking about?

Absolutely!!

Ya' got your basic Yuppies...who've always chased whatever was trendy (at any given time)....and, their inbred/Redneck-counterparts; Dead-O-Heads/Freepers.

Lol. So your problem is that your mama popped out someone who "couldn't" despite being given every chance on earth simply because you weren't a yuppie, ( the inbred) I can reserve judgement on for another day, because you would need a birth certificate with an actual name there for "daddy", which doesn't seem to be a "trend" in your circles. It's not a trend it's a "way of life"

It's that "it takes a village" thing because no one in the village knows who the other parent is.

What we need to do is to get rid of parties altogether and make the candidates run on their own qualifications and philosophy. That way, maybe at least a few voters would take the time to find out where their candidate stands on the issues of the day and vote accordingly. Then, if we didn't have TV advertising, the candidates wouldn't need a hundred million to run deceptive ad campaigns. As it is now, the candidate declares a party affiliation, and at least half of the voters will vote according to party. That half (or so) would vote for a Beelzebub/Mephistopheles ticket if it was on the right party. Most of the rest of the voters watch TV ads uncritically, not asking themselves how much truth (if any) there is to the ads, never asking themselves who is actually paying for the ads and what they want to get back for their investment, just taking in the content of the ads and basing their opinions on them.

What a way to run a democracy! Nothing like insuring that money rather than people will decide who wins the election.

If people are to busy/stupid now to take the time to figure out where a certain candidate stands to begin with, why exactly would taking away TV ads etc make any difference?

If anything, I feel that would simply lead to an even more ignorant general voting public.

They might not know where the candidates really stand, but they at least wouldn't have been fed a diet of pure BS designed to make them believe what the opposition wants them to believe.

Surely, you're not going to argue that TV advertising actually educates the voters, are you?

haha, well educate might be the wrong word... but it does engage them at least.

I suppose it does that. Maybe whatever the opposite of "educate" is would be the correct word.

I wonder what might happen if enough people were to get a DVR and start skipping the commercials. It could put an end to commercial TV, but it will have even more profound impacts on our economy and our politics as well. Imagine, if the public couldn't be manipulated by an expensive and well designed ad campaign!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

We have Bush and McCain to thank for our first African American president. maybe we'll have Palin to thank for having reelected him.

...Or, at-the-very-least, making-room for a competent-Governor!!!​

"As the leader of an oil-based economy, Parnell chided the Obama administration for seeking to curb the nation’s reliance on fossil fuels. However, during the interview, he said he “gives the President kudos” for supporting the Alaskan natural gas pipeline construction project, an infrastructure effort stalled under then-governor Palin."

 

[dogtowner]

you need to look long and hard at Sarah.

I can think of far worse assignments !

 

[always]

I can think of far worse assignments !

AS usual BUNZ does not list specifics concering the very smart and politically talented GOV. Sarah Palin. Instead he condems her never giving facts. SAD!!

 

[always]

Are you on the same planet as the rest of us?

OH , BUNZ , I'm on the same planet as you, I just do not censor post who disgree with me . I like to hear opposing ideas and thoughts .
I would never do that even if I were like you, it just is not right for me!
Now , stop your ranting!

 

[always]

I find this frankly amusing. Ole Sarah has decided to return home for the holidays and finally wrap up her book tour. She has two events scheduled for Alaska, both of them closed to the general public, being held on military bases near Fairbanks and Anchorage.

Oh what a change it has been, just over two years ago I saw Sarah in my home village and she attended our local fishtival with only a single State Trooper for protection. She could often times be seen out shopping without escort...now for her triumphant return home she wont even do a real public book signing.

There are plenty of book stores that I am sure would love to host her, but Sarah wants to insulate herself from the same people she quit on. The Anchorage Daily News went sofar as to disable the comments section on the story because of the uproa

Nothing like embarassing herself on the campaign trail, then to quit to write her book. She wont stand to face those she dragged through the mud for her own self promotion.
Conservatives, you need to look long and hard at the Janus figure we call Sarah.

You are so phony Bunz, Here you mention the Anchorage Daily News shutting down comment section on Mrs Palin BUT YOU DELETE post that YOU DO NOT LIKE often on the Political Forum!! Also you are so JEALOUS of her SUCCESS with her BOOK, selling over 3 MILLION Copies in a very short time. How many books have you written? How are your sales?
Those on THIS FORUM by NOW must begin to see how shallow you are!!
THE REAL reason you dislike Gov Sarah Palin is she is a CONSERVATIVE, a REAGAN type politician , a GOD fearing citizen , and LOYAL to her cause!!
Admit your BIAS!!
